What does HEMPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsdialectarchaic
Mischievous or roguish, prone to getting into playful trouble.
Hempy is an old Scots dialect word applied to a person, often a child, who is playfully mischievous rather than seriously bad. The term originally hinted that such behaviour might one day earn the person a hangman's rope, since hemp was used to make hanging ropes. Over time the harsh original image faded, and hempy came to describe harmless troublemakers and tomboys.
